Private boarding for your pup ❤️

Hello, Rover friends! I joined Rover summer 2024 when I discovered that my hospice foster puppy thrived when she had another dog around. We knew she had a limited amount of time so I wanted to make it as happy as possible for the precious girl, Olive, and decided to open my home to Rover. Sadly, Olive is no longer with us, but Rover was such a positive experience for us both that I have decided to keep my home open to pups who need a calm, happy place to stay while their humans are doing what they need to do. 🥰💕 What sets my home apart: Pups = family and I only accept one Rover booking at a time so i can give each pup the attention they deserve. HOWEVER... Fostering has been such a rewarding experience and there are so many dogs who need comfortable places to land. So, while my heart continues to heal from the loss of Olive, it is likely I will bring in some short-term APA fosters before I resume doing it full-time. I also occasionally pet sit for my friends/family. f I do, you can be confident in the following: • I will always disclose their dates, size, and personality • I will never bring in another dog prior to discussing with you • If your dog needs to be a solo-dog, I will gladly accommodate! Keeping my home calm, clean, and comfortable is also super important! When your dog(s) stays with me, you can be confident it’ll be full of sofa snuggles, cozy blankets, and fun walks. I have multiple pet-proof furniture covers, use all-natural cleaning ingredients, and love enjoying the park and green spaces around my neighborhood. Due to me often working from home and potentially having another foster pup, I need to be selective about the dogs I accept to ensure everyone’s happy and safe. A good fit for this home is a dog who is: - House-trained - Gentle in their play - Not majorly energetic - gotta keep those zoom meetings professional, right? 🤣 I look forward to welcoming your dog into my home and giving them the best care possible!

Sarah was wonderful with my dog. I felt completely worry free and was able to enjoy my time away from my pet. I would 100% book again with her.

George has the best time while at Sarah’s for 10 days! Sarah sent us daily updates with photos and videos. George can’t wait for his stay again in the future!!

Sarah is the absolute best! She was so sweet and patient with Lilly during her overnight stay. Sarah kept us updated with pictures and videos the entire time, and we feel great about leaving Lilly with her again for our upcoming trips. So happy we found her! 😊

Sarah took amazing care of my dog. She was super responsive from our first contact and during the boarding: keeping me updated with how the day was going and sending plenty of pictures and videos. I could tell Bento loved her and I highly recommend her services!

This is my second time booking with Sarah and she has been consistently great. Pictures/videos every day of her playing with my dog and my dog’s tail just doing the helicopter. Will continue to use Sarah as my primary caretaker for Zoey!

Sarah is the best! We’ve boarded our dogs with her three times now and our dogs love it every time they go. Communication is great and we appreciate the daily pictures/videos. Sarah is definitely our go to sitter when we go out of town!

I have a hybrid work schedule – I go into the office 3 days a week, but rarely for a full 8 hours, so I'm home a lot! Plus, I have a doggie door for easy potty breaks and sunshine for my furry friend! 🏡🐕‍🦺☀️

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping a safe and comfy home is my top priority! I have a 6ft fenced yard and a doggie door, so your dog can enjoy the outdoors at their own pace. Inside, I provide several cozy dog beds, crates, and partition gates to ensure everyone has their own space. I also make sure to feed and treat dogs separately to avoid any food-related issues. Your pet will get the best care and comfort while they're with me! 🥰

A typical day

I love keeping dogs entertained and happy! Depending on their preferences and energy levels, I enjoy playing gentle games in the yard, like fetch or tug-of-war. We can also go for leisurely strolls around the neighborhood if they're up for it. For quieter moments, I offer plenty of cozy snuggle time on the couch and interactive toys to keep them engaged. Your dog will always get personalized attention to ensure they have a great time while they're here!

Before your pet's stay, I'd love to know a few things to make sure they’re as comfortable and happy as possible. Please share: - Any health or medical needs they have, like allergies, medications, or specific conditions? - Feeding routine—what type of food they eat, how much, and any special preferences or restrictions they might have. - Usual behavior and temperament. How do they interact with other dogs and people. Knowing their likes and dislikes helps me provide a more personalized experience. - Any specific exercise needs or activities they enjoy - Your household rules you'd like them to follow here too (ex: where they’re allowed or any training commands they respond to) If they have favorite toys, beds, or blankets, you're welcome to bring those along! Thanks for sharing these details—I’m looking forward to taking great care of your furry friend!
